Kent-Costikyan 

TRADING  CO.  INC. 

THE  house  of  Kent-Costikyan  had  its  inception  in  the 
year  1885,  when  Mr.  Costikyan,  the  President  of 
the  present  Company,  while  a student  at  that  time 
at  Colgate  University,  disposed  of,  among  the  professors  of 
that  Institution,  several  bales  of  Oriental  Rugs,  which  had 
previously  been  shipped  from  Constantinople,  to  merchants 
in  this  country,  who  had  been  unable  to  dispose  of  them. 

In  the  Fall  of  1886,  Mr.  Costikyan  (after  an  ap- 
prenticeship in  the  establishment  of  Sibley,  Lindsay  & Curr 
Co.)  established  in  the  City  of  Rochester  the  business 
of  Costikyan  Freres,  in  America.  In  those  days,  the  dis- 
posal of  any  large  number  of  choice  rugs  at  private  sale, 
being  out  of  question,  Costikyan  Freres  forwarded  semi- 
annually from  Rochester  to  New  York  City,  important 
collections  of  rugs  for  disposal  at  the  leading  Ortgies  Art 
Galleries,  on  Broadway  below  Fourteenth  Street,  which 
later  were  removed  to  the  building  adjoining  the  Stewart 
Mansion,  at  Fifth  Avenue  and  34th  Street.  Many'  of  the 
rare  antiques  now  in  the  homes  of  New  York,  as  well  as 
other  cities,  were  acquired  at  those  sales,  which  contri- 
buted more  than  anything  else  toward  the  introduction  of 
Oriental  Rugs  on  an  extensive  scale. 

In  1 888  a branch  was  opened  in  Chicago,  where  the 
business  was  carried  on  until  1 893.  In  the  meantime, 
the  Rochester  store  was  discontinued,  and  a wholesale 
branch  was  opened  in  New  York  City. 

During  that  period,  Marshall  Fields  & Co.  realizing 
the  great  opportunity  of  developing  a business  in  this  line, 
arranged  a partnership  with  Costikyan  Freres,  and  the 
business  was  conducted  for  a time  in  their  retail  establish- 
ment in  Chicago. 

Early  in  1 894  the  Chicago  House  was  discontinued, 
and  the  wholesale  business  was  carried  op  exclusively  in 
New  York  City,  in  the  downtown  district,  at  47-49  Liberty 
Street,  and  at  1 28  Broadway  (the  old  American  Exchange 
National  Bank  Building)  from  whence  it  was  removed  in 
1 898  to  the  extensive  and  modern  Gallatin  Building,  890 
Broadway,  corner  1 9th  Street. 

In  1 900  the  firm  name  was  changed  from  Costikyan 
Freres  to  Kent-Costikyan,  the  former  being  discontinued. 

The  trend  of  business  uptown  necessitated  its  removal 
in  1908  to  the  “Knabe  Building”  (Fifth  Avenue  at  39th 
Street) . 

The  need  of  larger  quarters  resulted  in  the  lease,  in 
1910,  of  two  entire  floors,  at  Nos.  8-14  West  38th  Street. 

Early  in  1916,  an  extensive  floor  was  secured  in  the 
modern  “Rogers-Peet  Building”,  at  485  Fifth  Avenue,  at 
41st  Street,  where  the  Company’s  Warerooms  and  Galleries 
possess  the  most  perfect  daylight,  and  every  known  facility. 

Kent-Costikyan  Warerooms  are  now  located  on  the 
sixth  floor  of  the  “Rogers-Peet  Building”,  directly  opposite 
the  Public  Library.  The  Company  has  no  branches  in  New 
York  City.

MIRHALI 

RUGS 


MIRHALI  RUGS 


Sr 

the  highest  development  of  the 

/\  art  of  weaving  rugs  in  this  coun- 
X \try,  we  are  enabled  to  present 
to  the  public  the  MIRHALI  rug,  an 
American  product  throughout,  which 
has  all  the  characteristics  of  the  Oriental 
rug,  as  made  in  the  countries  of  the  East 
for  centuries  past.  The  MIRHAL.I 
rug  is  not  to  be  confused  with  so-called 
imitation  oriental  rugs,  but  is  an  exact 
duplication  of  the  Oriental  rug  with  its 
characteristic  and  predominant  feature 

of  the  SEHNA  KNOT. 

The  MIRHALI  rug  is  the  result 
of  more  than  twelve  years  of  effort  de- 
voted to  the  accomplishment  of  an 
object,  which  was  hitherto  considered 
impossible  by  all  carpet  manufacturers 
and  loom  builders  throughout  the  world, 
viz.:  The  construction  of  a power 

loom  that  would  make  the  Oriental  rug 
heretofore  made  by  hand.  The  solu- 
tion of  this  problem  has  been  hailed 
by  the  entire  scientific,  technical  and 
lay  press  of  the  country,  as  one  of  the 
most  remarkable  achievements  in  the 
art  of  weaving  for  many  decades  past. 

It  gives  us  particular  gratification  to 
emphasize  that  this  result  has  been 
achieved  through  the  efforts  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Costikyan  family,  especially 
of  the  late  Nazar  Costikyan,  the  senior 
member  of  Costikyan  Bros.  & Co., 
who  made  it  one  of  the  last  ambitions 
of  his  life  to  achieve  this  object  so  long 
sought  for,  that  of  making  an  Oriental 
rug  on  a power  loom  and  thus  produc- 
ing it  at  a cost  which  would  appeal  to 
a larger  public  than  the  imported 
Oriental  rug  of  similar  value  could  be 
sold  for. 

These  rugs  have  already  had  exten- 
sive tests  given  to  them  to  prove  their 
wearing  qualities,  and  we  can  confi- 
dently recommend  them  as  floor  cover- 
ings of  unique  merit.  The  beauty  of 
design  as  well  as  the  lustre  and  general 
softness  of  appearance  found  in  all 
Oriental  rugs  will  be  seen  in  these  rugs 
as  well. 

The  word  MIRHALI  (pronounced 
Meerholly)  is  derived  from  the  Persian 
"MIR”  signifying  chief  or  King,  and 
"HALI”  in  Turkish  signifying  Rug 
— hence  the  sub-title  “THE  KING 
OF  RUGS".
